My New Wheels - Not Sure I'm Digging Them Unfortunately

[JOKER M1]

Certainly different than what we are all used to seeing but I think it‘s amazing, the exhaust tips and the white body stripe help pull it together. Guess you will have to see if it grows on you.

Ha, well I indeed appreciate your opinion! It's either these or just sticking with the factory wheels...

Plasti-dip. Neon yellow or lime green would work.
but I'd try a semi/flat white first.

You are right to shun (nearly) black. blech!

well I'm not a big chrome guy but they look really good. It changes the stance and appearance in a good way. If you have the old wheels you can always swap around for the mood your in, just an idea. But they do look NICE !

Im old school, so I like them. If you decide to sell them send me a message.

first off Ive seen worse and by worse I mean just plain awful. This is not that.

Some constructive criticism:

I think with the chrome it highlights the stock ride height. These cars aren't wagons from the factory but the chrome really showcases it where i think the dark grey kinda help hides it with the gap+tire+dark rim.

Now the rim is all shiny and saying LOOK AT ME!!! an d providing super constrasted lines visually on bottom of the car.

The ratio is off. I think if you lowered the car this might tighten up some of the lines.

I also think maybe just maybe a completely chrome center cap or a silver one might help as well.

I think they look cool. Not my cup of tea but its a nice looking ride still.

I’m a Cragar not Keystone guy lol. To me they look unique and I would give it some time before you decide. I have an Eruption Green car and they would look amazing on it, so jealous.

I think it looks great actually.

Those are completely bad ass! It has a classic muscle car look to it. Leave them as is!

It definitely feels more like a Cougar than a Mustang when looking at both back to back. It's really wild how it changes.
They indeed did a smashing job on these. The work is impeccable! I love me some chrome as well hence the chance I took, but man you're right, there's just something that ain't right.
Haha I'm getting up there and love Chrome too, just something looks outta place.
Heres the link to their listing for the Platinums. Also, I sent you a PM.
Same deal here, which is why I did it! Perhaps I need a few days to get used to it, it's just so jarringly different. Thanks!

Give it a couple weeks. The first week or so I had mine on, I was unsure I made the correct decision. But after that, I'm 100% certain it was the right one.

Those look great, nice choice

Only matters how you feel about them, personally they don't look bad but I do prefer the factory color. Give it a couple of weeks as mentioned or might need something to enhance the contrast. What about a Hybrid?

 

[NightmareMoon]

personally I think that the chrome and red isn't a great look. Good experiement tho.

Honestly what you've done to those wheels will probably be highly desirable to someone with a different colored car. I bet you could sell those at a premium to somebody with a blue car maybe.

I bet you could get someone to swap with you (and they can throw in a few bucks to cover some of the cost of the beautiful chrome job)

I don't care for chrome, but they look nice. The chrome would probably look really good on a Black Mach1.

 

[Stage_3]

I think the car looks killer either way.
Honestly. Both wheel set ups look great on that car.
Enjoy!

I am a 90's child. Chrome and brushed aluminum will always look better than black.

Same here, born early 80’s so was really getting into cars in the late 80’s/early 90’s. First set of wheels I bought for my first car were chrome 5 spokes from American Racing. Car was white so the chrome worked well.
